City Reserves V Leicester Preview

Last updated : 04 October 2005 By Covsupport

“All We Are Saying Is Give Us A Goal” is the message to Coventry City Reserves as they take on local rivals Leicester City in an FA Premier Reserve League South clash at Rugby Town tonight at 7pm.

The Sky Blues have scored only one goal in their five games so far this season and that was through Graham Barrett who is out on loan at Livingston.

Darren Robinson is expected to take charge of the side with Alan Cork away. Jonny Tuffey will take the keepers shirt, whilst Isaac Osbourne,Paul Watson,Andy Impey and Neil Wood all return.  Definitely out is Kevin Thornton who serves the last game of his three game ban. City are also fielding a trialist whose surname is Savage.

Bottom of the league Leicester City will have Patrik Gerrbrand in their side. The Swede was a second half sub for Leicester’s first team against Derby on Saturday and is the only real name in a youthful Foxes team.

Admission is free for season ticket holders and £2 for adults or £1 for concessions.

To get to Butlin Road

Exit the M6, Junction 1 (or M1, Junction 19), and follow signs towards Rugby (first exit on the roundabout). Then go straight over the next two roundabouts until you come to a main ‘Mr Kipling’ Roundabout. Take the first exit on the roundabout, which follows downhill to a mini-roundabout, where you should carry straight on.

You should come past housing on both sides of the road before a large field, however, you should continue along this road (Boughton Road/Butlers Leap) until you come to its end at a T-Junction.

Turn right here, and continue up the hill past the golf course on the left and take the second left turning, which is at a mini roundabout (Butlin Road). Carry on down here until you come to cemetery gates when you should take a left turn at the top of the road and then a quick right, but the ground will be in view already.
